Choosing the Units in your New Kitchen

Many people choose a new kitchen based on the appearance they would like, which will mostly come from the units you select. You will generally choose the cabinet in white or a wooden colour, and then go on to choose the frontals. The unit choice will have very little bearing on your kitchen’s look and feel, as you will only really see it when the doors are open – the rest will come from the frontals.

To Buy or Not To Buy – NutriBullet

Many people use the NutriBullet blender to make smoothies or soups, but you can also use it to prepare meals like stews and curries, so it’s essentially a high-tech pestle and mortar. Another advantage of the NutriBullet is that it’s incredibly easy to use, as you simply push down on the container to activate it, plus it’s designed to stay in position so there is minimal risk of injury.
